The Steam summer sale just ended, and some of us are well stocked on discounted games until the next sale, but it’s its never a bad thing to get more computer games—especially when it’s free! Desura is offering Chester, an indie title, for free, and all you have to do is install the Desura game client.

The Steam summer sale just ended, and some of us are well stocked on discounted games until the next sale, but it’s its never a bad thing to get more computer games—especially when it’s free! Desura is offering Chester, an indie title, for free, and all you have to do is install the Desura game client.

“Chester is a 2D platformer with over 10 unlockable characters, a light RPG element and leveling up system, loads of unlockables, around 50 levels, and 8 "styles" that allow the player to change the look of the game at will. These styles include sketchbook, 8-bit, LCD, blueprints, and many more. They also each give a unique gameplay bonus to the player. The game also includes 4 difficulty levels so that almost anyone can beat the game or get a very challenging experience out of it.”

Chester is no 3D behemoth, and it doesn’t require a high-end video card. It’s a great game for passing the time (Plants vs. Zombies? Super Meat Boy?). It’s available for free the next 48 hours. Sorry Mac users, Desura hasn't developed a Mac game client yet.
